The practical application of curtain wall steel structure theory

Any theory must be able to guide our practice and serve engineering projects to have concrete practical significance. Curtain wall steel structure theory is no exception. Therefore, work and practice should be the focus of the construction of curtain wall steel structure knowledge concept and professional skill system. This content mainly consists of five parts: standard of modern curtain wall design, drawing standard and node drawing library, professional question bank for staff’s professional skill training or assessment, drawing and calculation software commonly used in work, programming and development tools for secondary development of these software or independent development of professional software.

For the curtain wall steel structure theory must be implemented to the concrete practice project which can play its strong guiding significance. Generally speaking, design standards are the intermediary and bridge between theory and practice. They are important technical documents that organize theoretical knowledge and practice as well as daily experience of structural glass curtain wall. Because the volume of curtain wall steel structure is small, compared with the traditional main structure, its force transmission path has its own characteristics: first, the bearing capacity and stiffness of the main structure of the support must be considered in the design; Second, the dead weight is relatively light, such as the horizontal action in the load is large; Three, need to consider the effect of temperature; 4. Due to the decorative properties of curtain wall, aesthetic problems need to be considered in the design process. These characteristics of curtain wall steel structure make it have its own unique design characteristics and design ideas in the design work. Conventional main structure design thinking is not appropriate, so it is necessary to work out a set of design standards of fire rated curtain wall.
At present, our design ideas must be expressed through drawing. Correct and clear drawing rules are the necessary guarantee for designers to fully, completely and clearly convey their design ideas to relevant professionals. Therefore, a drawing rule to be followed by all relevant technicians is necessary. In addition, the drawing is also different from that of the main structure. The curtain wall steel structure needs to express a large number of relations with the main structure, the components are relatively small, the proportion is larger, the orientation changes are more, and the node design is more refined. These characteristics make the drawing standard of the curtain wall structure used in the drawing of the curtain wall steel structure not reasonable. Therefore, it is necessary and feasible to draw up a special drawing standard for curtain wall steel structure.
